Interview Day-a Quick Guide
 

Hello everyone:)
I hope someone would be kind enough to help me with Silverjet's recuritment. I have an assesment day next month and I really want
to get this job:eek:, all I can do is perform my best. Despite reading
negative comments I can only gain my own experience.
I am aware of what the day is like but does anyone know what type
of group exercise there is and If there are tests involved, and what they look for, is their a particular look?
I have been on two airline interviews this month and the group exercises
and tests failed me.. I am not good at building towers out of paper. I am
much better at discussion and customer service.
So If anyone could give me some basic advice that would be very appreciated. Silverjet is my last hope..xx:{

PM me and i will help as much as i can

oufffffffffff
 

Hi guys,

I feel that you are too stressed about the interview...
My advice is BE COOL!!!Dont worry, go there with confidence!!
Like going to a big party!!!Dont ask for advices!!!Everything is luck...
Dont believe that you will go to something very importand...They need
you , you dont need theme!!!There are lot of companies out there and
someone its the one for you!!!Just be your self...Dont go there and feel
like you are going to the gallows poll...Ii is nothing more than a job...after
few months of work you will reallize that its not a big deal....EVERYONE
CAN DO THIS JOB!!!EVERYONE!!I have lot of examples in my current airline..
I also have an interview with silverjet at 11 of March...I will travel from Greece..I thing that I will have fun!!If you want lets go together to a good club in London because i will travel there for first time and i have heard VERY
GOOD things for london club life!!!Who knows...maeby we'll make all together a new airline..PARTYANIMALS AIR!!!With DJ'S,lot of alcohol and dark room for VIP's!!!!!DONT WORRY ABOUT A THING...CAUSE EVERY LITLE THING IS GONNA BE ALLRIGHT!!!------747POWER----

Its hard not to agree with, some of your sentiments regarding the interview i.e "dont get too stressed", "go there with confidence" and "you dont need them, they need you".

Where i would disagree is in your comment that "anyone can do the job". I don't believe that just ANYONE can. While the majority of cabin crew would agree that day to day tasks do not require a huge amount of 'brain power', it takes a special kind of someone to look at customers as individuals rather than bums on seats. We also know that in the event of experiencing a emergency the ability to work as a team, manage situations as they unfold and put others safety before your own is paramount. Thats why airlines dont just pick ANYONE to do the job.

Go to the interview, yes have fun, yes use it as a great way to meet new people and make new friends. My real advice would be dont forget the real reason that you are there, to work for a company that breathes customer service, individuality and professionalism. If you remember that then you wont go too far wrong.

Good luck and safe flying

Spartan my dear, you are so not SilverJet material!

Far from it we do want people that care, people who take a genuine interest in the customers they are looking after for the duration of the flight, people that have a personal sense of pride in the product that they are delivering. Not individuals who's main priority is to get jiggy in a darkened VIP bar of some seedy club.

The crew I work with at Silverjet are among the best in the industry and I have been flying a fair few number of years now.

They have been very carefully selected to ensure they possess the right qualities to fit into the Silverjet business model.

You Spartan, would be like a round peg fitting into a square hole!

Enough said :E

Iconic - think you may have been a little less diplomatic than me!!!! LOL !!!!!I]

Please forgive my intrusion into this area of Pprune, I must say I'm looking forward to experiencing your product to DXB in about 10 days, I hope it all works as well as it sounds like it should. :)

Normally for long haul I would pass through LHR, AMS or CDG all of which have their own particular brand of pax unfriendliness irrespective of ticket type, AMS is probably the best of the three airport wise but least favourite carrier wise, will be interesting to see the SilverJet terminal at LTN, all sounds nice.

Keep up the good work and hope the model is sustainable, friends of mine in DXB are interested in you as an alternative to EK, BA etc, so there is penetration into their conciousness just unfamiliarity with the offering, I'm sure that will come in time. :D

:D bravo bravo bravo iconic...good boy !!!!you won your friskies for today!!;)

Silverjet
 

Hi!
How're thing? I'm wondrering if anybody knows something about the silverjet's roster. How many off days a cabin crew can enjoy per month and if the off days are consecutive.
I have been invited to the interviews three times but I live in Barcelona and couldn't go.
Waiting for answers. Great greeting and thanks.
Carla

Spartan, your clearly no the full ticket :hmm:

Hahaha spartan...how funny :D

Actually Iconic, from what i've heard about some of the cabin crew...spartan so IS Silverjet material :p

Anyone going to the assessment day March 19th/20th? Although I've gotta say, reading how bitchy some of the current SilverJet crew are, I'm not so excited about it! := Let me know if you're going, thanks!

Im a pilot at Silverjet and all I will say is that I wouldnt believe everything you read on PPrune!

You dont know who people really are... And the negetives I have seen on most forums about Silverjet is 99.9% B*llocks! :ugh:

Go to the interview and have a bash... you will see that the Girls and Guys are a Fantastic bunch!

If they say yes Great!... If they say no, then better luck next time!

Goodluck! :ok:

PS. Silverjet crew are not Bitchy! We are all very proud of our great little(soon to be Big) Airline... The Silverjet crew are they Best and most pleasent I have ever had the fortune of working with! :ok:

Ops now crawls back to the flightdeck with tea in hand and locks the Door!

Silverjet Assessment Centres
 

Ops... you never fail to make me smile... :o)

QuerTY - I can fully understand your apprehension. Reading some of the comments that are posted within this forum is enough to scare many an individual away. Which is a little disheartening.

Having flown for Silverjet from day 1, I can hold my hand on my heart, and with the utmost integrity tell you that working at Silverjet, you will meet some of the nicest people. Not just in the airline industry, but in any walk of life. The crew I have the pleasure to fly with are mostly passionate, considerate and caring.

Unfortunately, as the saying goes "There is always one..."

There are a minority of people that, whilst I do not in any way infer that they are not entitled to an opinion, do have a very negative viewpoint on either Silverjet as a company, it's management, and unfortunately members of our crew.

These viewpoints are not just limited to Silverjet, or even cabin crew as a matter of fact. (Take a look at some of the pilot forums... I would not like to be caught in that crossfire.)

As you may appreciate, when someone is happy with something, they very rarely provide feedback on the matter... whether this be good work, or enjoying the role you are in. If something upsets someone, they are more likely to speak out.

I think I mentioned before, not a lot of our online crew post on here. A lot of discussions do seem to be one sided, and eventually diminish.

Go for your assessment day. We will have cabin crew representatives present. Take the opportunity to talk to them. (I'm pretty sure you will not be assessed on everything you say!) There's no harm in a friendly discussion.
Take the opportunity to make your own mind up. Silverjet may not be the airline for you.

Would you want to end up with the feeling of "What if?", because of some words that you have read?

Good Luck & Safe Happy Flying

Silverjet Assesment Feedback
 

Hi everyone

I thought I would share my assesment day feedback with you all. After reading this whole thread, I thought I would go along to the assesment and experience it for myself. I am not sure If I agree on all the negative things said here, but I do know I gave it my best shot and was super confident and took part-lead in the group exercise, but not domineering or anything like that.
However they choose 7 out 0f 40 candidates and they picked one from each group. And like it was stated earilier on here it was ones who they maybe able to mould eaisly as it was more quieter ones, who did get involved but was also more laid back, and people with no flying experience.
I usually take a back seat but this time I thought I'd talk more and I didn't get it:{. Such a shame as they sounded a brilliant airline and all the wannabes I met on the day, Most were lovely.

Firstly, i am really sorry that you didnt get through. I'm going to sound like your mum, but i think anyone who has dreamt of becoming cabin crew would agree that resilience and an ability to keep trying are key.
Good to hear someone who has positive things to say about their interview experience. I am a huge advocate of Silverjet and find that its the minority rather than the majority that write negatively on this forum.
Of course everyone is entitled to their opinion, just good to see that you made the decision to find out for yourself.
Good luck in fulfilling your dream. :)

Firstly, please accept my commiserations that you were not successful on this occasion... Contrary to popular belief, our recruitment team do have a set citeria to which candidates must be successful in all areas to be able to proceed to the next level. I am sorry it seemed that only inexperienced or non flyers seemed to be successful. In my opinion, being proactive, instead of taking a back seat is a great quality.
Unfortunately, not being part of your recruitment process, I cannot speak for your assessors... Please do not be disheartened... I notice you have also enquired on the EOS thread... good for you! There are currently a limited amount of business class only, or first class only airlines out there, alongside EOS, another strong candidate would be someone like Privatair... However, neither of their products (although marketed in similar ways) are the same as us... EOS, although advertised as business class, are more of a 1st class product... with the prices to match. Privatair... are just that... Private... corporate flight attendants, working on smaller aircraft that operate longhaul routes...

I believe I have mentioned before, Silverjet are looking for crew who are willing to go the extra mile, be part of a team, whilst being able to show their individuality, use their own initiative, whilst being everything that our brand portrays whilst at work... All of this because you want to, not because you have to... Believe me, it does become apparent very soon if Silverjet is not the airline for you. For example, some people find it very uncomfortable being on 1st name terms with their customers.

Our recruitment will soon be hitting the ground running... With the arrival of 2 new aircraft, the announcement of 2 new destinations and with the new financial year and pay reviews happening in the near future... Silverjet is looking to the skies methinks!

I hesitate to comment on some posts on here, however, may I take the opportunity to stress... Silverjet are not an airline that want crew to fly for us because we are the first British all business class airline... In my experience, we want individuals to fly for us... to be the person they are, and to help us all grow, and develop, and to want to be the best they can be at what they do!

Good luck to anyone who is coming to our upcoming Assessment Centres... I hope I will see you onboard very soon!

So flying experience counts for nothing at Silverjet? Why?

BestonBoard & AvgasDinosaur seems to know all the facts so can I ask
1) have the aircraft been delayed into the next financial year?
2) The planes have 102 "beds" but only 100 are used in Load factors, are the other 2 used for staff?
